More Troubles for Fox 5 Reporter Charles Leaf, Now Facing Child Porn Charges

Charles Leaf, the award-winning Fox 5/WNYW reporter, who was arrested for allegedly molesting a four-year-old now has been slapped with a child porn charge, The Record first reported.

At the time of his arrest last month, Leaf’s home computer was seized. Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Kenneth Ralph said in a court hearing on Tuesday that forensic analysis showed it had kiddie porn images.

In light of the additional charge, a judge refused to reduce Leaf’s bail from $270,000. Leaf pleaded not guilty.

The judge wouldn’t lower bail because Leaf has three drivers’ licenses in three different states.
